Tonight, Qingcheng Mountain seemed particularly cold, the night wind was howling, and the Yunshui Hall was filled with a biting chill. Xue Zhike personally carried a charcoal basin in, followed by two people who bent over and tried to take the charcoal basin, but could not get it.
Taoist priest in the living room.
Looking at Zhao Ran who was sitting blankly at the table, Xue Tengqian comforted him: "Zhiran, don't blame yourself anymore, some things are beyond our expectation... It's autumn, and it's a little cold today. I'll warm up your house, haha.
, I know you are a great golden elixir, so you don’t need this, but it’s always better to put a pot of it.”
Zhao Ran stood up, tried to socialize with him with a smile on his face, and sent Xue Tengqian out of the small courtyard where he lived.
Seeing Xue Tengqian's back turning the corner, Zhao Ran put his hands on his back and casually walked along the wall in the other direction. Unknowingly, he came to the small courtyard where Dongfang Li lived. He concentrated and held his breath, sensing the other party's voice in the house.
There was an extremely slight movement, which was the friction sound from the corners of my clothes when I stood up, so a piece of defense talisman fell at an inconspicuous place at the entrance of the courtyard. Then I continued to move forward, and at the other three corners of the small courtyard.
Each dropped one.
Then, he continued to stroll outside Dongfang Jing's small courtyard...
Zhao Ran returned to his room, blew out the lights, and continued to sit and wait in the darkness until the beginning of the ugly moment. Then he stood up, gently opened the door, and also placed protective talismans outside his courtyard.
He quietly returned to the courtyard of Dongfang Li and checked it out. The magic circle under the defensive talisman had remained hidden and untouched, indicating that no one had come in or out.
Then check Dongfang Jing’s small courtyard...
In the dark night, Zhao Ran returned to the bottom of the cliff, looked up at the prison building above, and began to climb up the steps. As he climbed up, he stepped into the role, imagining that he was Ye Yunxuan, and imagining how he felt at that time.
.
After boarding the prison building, the wooden door on the moon hole had been bolted from the inside. Zhao Ran tapped his toes, jumped in, and landed floating on the ground.
The autumn wind on the cliff was a bit strong at night, and through the sound of the wind, one could faintly hear Zhao Yunlou's snoring in the bedroom, and the little fireman who was waiting for him in the wing was turning over on the bed.
Zhao Ran came to the stone fence, looked down, moved to where Ye Yunxuan climbed over, and silently recalled the details of the day:
Ye Yunxuan suddenly exerted his power, broke away from the protection of the four patrols, and then turned over the stone fence...
He rushed over and caught him...
The magic power came from the sky and touched Ye Yunxuan's body...
An extremely familiar feeling came back instantly, as if I had met a relative I had not seen for many years...
No, they are not relatives, they are more like part of their own body, they are one with each other!
This feeling was so strong that it caused the sea of qi to throb. It was an indescribable feeling of hunger. I wanted to swallow the other person immediately. This feeling impacted my mind extremely strongly, forming a momentary trance. A trance.
, subconsciously want the other person to die!
So it "missed".
Faced with Senior Brother Li's accusation, Zhao Ran couldn't explain it, so he bowed his head and took the blame - he didn't want to explain at all.
Turning over from the stone railing, one hand gently rested on the bottom of the railing. On the rock wall one foot below, five half-inch deep finger holes were clearly visible. The finger holes extended several inches downward, forming five scratches.
, at the end of the scratch, bring down a piece of rock and soil.
Zhao Ran exhaled from his mouth to form a wind blade, blowing the surrounding area flat. He looked at it for a long time and confirmed that he was satisfied.
Back at the bottom of the cliff, Ye Yunxuan's body had been carried away, and the spot where it fell had been washed with clean water by Fangtang inspectors, but there were still faint traces of blood.
He knelt down, examined the bloodstains carefully, and punched a protective charm, and the magic power began to spread.
Zhao Ran lowered his head so much that he was almost buried in the blood-stained soil, carefully distinguishing and feeling.
The breath of magic power is very light, extremely subtle, and almost difficult to detect, but if you are careful, you can still feel a clue. Zhao Ran thought back for a moment, Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Jing had stood here and stared at each other for a long time, but they did not have any suspicion.
He had never cast a spell to examine the corpse, and after making sure that nothing was missing from his memories, he gently dispersed the extremely faint fluctuation.
After leaving here, Zhao Ran came to Fangtang. This is his ultimate goal tonight!
Two inspectors were on duty in the courtyard, and there was no pressure on Zhao Ran. Perhaps the disappearance of Wan Niang's ashes left a thorn in Senior Brother Li's heart. When the body was stored in the afternoon, Senior Brother Li laid a trap outside the room.
Guardian Talisman.
But this was not a problem for Zhao Ran either, because he had placed the defensive talisman on the wall next to the window in advance, leaving a backdoor for himself in advance.
Entering through the window, there are several wooden beds placed on both sides of the wall. The other beds are empty, except for the first one on the left, which is covered with linen sheets.
Gently lifting the linen sheet, Ye Yunxuan's corpse appeared in front of him. His whole body was shattered, his facial features were displaced, his limbs were like paper, and his body bones were limp and shapeless. This was a corpse that had been slightly taken care of by knowledgeable patrolmen. At that time
When you're at the bottom of the cliff, it's almost unrecognizable.
Zhao Ran's heart suddenly started pounding, and the nervousness was so intense that he, a golden elixir monk, had to take deep breaths several times in a row to calm down this complicated emotion.
He used his merit and magic to touch it gently. He suddenly remembered that on Qingping Mountain more than ten years ago, on the battlefield after a brutal fight, he also touched a corpse. That was the corpse of the guarding eunuch Zhao Deyizi...
The magic power touched Ye Yunxuan, and Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment. He could no longer care about his nausea, and grabbed the wrist of the corpse with his backhand, clasped the meridians, and probed for the magic power.
But he failed, and the meridians were also dispersed. How could he pass through it?
Zhao Ran directly placed his palm on the abdomen of the corpse, and the merit mana quickly penetrated in. Following the intrusion route of the mana, the inner vision also followed.
Ye Yunxuan has indeed entered the spiritual practice!
A sea of qi that was beginning to take shape appeared in front of Zhao Ran's eyes. The sea of qi was tightly covered by a layer of cyan jade, as if it was wrapped with an inner shell of sapphire.
Ye Yunxuan is dead, so the sea of qi has become dead and no longer rotates, and the inner shell of sapphire and the sea of qi have become separated.
This sea of qi is so familiar and looks so friendly, as if it is a part of his own body. The merit and mana that Zhao Ran poked into surged up instantly, with a fierce momentum and full of greed.
Before he could control his magic power, Zhao Ran only had time to confirm that Ye Yunxuan was on the threshold of the Taoist realm!
Immediately afterwards, the merit and magic power like a starving ghost peeled off the inner shell of sapphire from Ye Yunxuan's Qi sea, turned it into a thin green rope, and swallowed his own merit power and Qi sea.
Immediately, earth-shaking changes occurred in the sea of merit power. Qingsuo turned into an extremely bright point of light, spread suddenly, filled the entire sea of qi, and then covered the original inner shell of green jade, covering all three sides of the body.
One hundred and sixty-five acupuncture points lighted up again, trembling at the same time as the eight extraordinary meridians.
During the tremor, the two inner shells of sapphire and green jade merged together and turned into one layer. Its color is said to be blue but slightly lighter, and said to be green but slightly darker.
At the same time, Zhao Ran discovered that the efficiency of refining his merit power had greatly increased. Every drop of essence stored in his body in the middle of the night nearly doubled his refining merit power!
Zhao Ran was stunned. He had never thought that in addition to the green rope, there was a green rope in this world, and this green rope was actually refined into the sea of qi by Ye Yunxuan. What he didn't expect was that two thin ropes could actually
Fusion, and after fusion, the efficiency of refining the power of merit can be doubled! In this way, as long as the power of merit is sufficient, wouldn't it be possible to double the speed of one's own practice?
There were too many questions that he couldn't figure out, and maybe he would never get the answer. For example, where did Ye Yunxuan get Qing Suo? When did he get Qing Suo? If Qing Suo and Lu Suo both
Unlocking the skills depends on the level of the job. With Ye Yunxuan's high position, why does his realm only reach the Taoist realm? How many strings are there in this world? If I fuse another one, will the efficiency of refining the power of merit be doubled again?
?
But he didn't have time to think about it. He completely shook away the broken sea of qi in the corpse, and used the Dao Talisman to slowly eliminate the mana fluctuations. After finishing, he gently turned over the white hair that had fallen down on the head of the corpse, which was slightly sparse.
Hidden by his white hair, there was a bruise. Most people would think that it was caused by Ye Yunxuan falling off the cliff, but Zhao Ran did not dare to be careless and still did something.
Zhao Ran didn't dare to think about it anymore. He left the room with too many unanswerable questions. He carefully eliminated the traces of his visit. After returning to Yunshui Hall, he went to check outside the small courtyard of Dongfang Li and Dongfang Jing.
After checking, no trace of their entry or exit was found, so he removed the defensive talisman array and hid in his room.
This day was bizarre. Zhao Ran stayed by the charcoal pot until dawn with excitement, doubts, apprehension, and longing.
